About
I'm Tim, a Columbus handyman and locksmith tech with years of hands-on experience in the jobs most homeowners put off. I specialize in door installation, interior painting, lock installation and repair, and window treatments. I have hung solid-core and pre-hung doors in old Victorian Village frames, painted occupied apartments in the Short North with clean lines and low odor, installed deadbolts and smart locks that actually align, and mounted blinds and curtain rods on plaster, brick, and drywall without cracking walls. I work tidy, show up on time, and treat your home like my own."
Full experience paragraph (for website About):
My experience comes from daily work in central Ohio homes, not from a classroom.
For door installation, I have replaced sticking bedroom doors, installed new pre-hung exterior doors with proper weatherstripping, and hung barn doors and bifolds in tight closets. I know how to shim, plane, and adjust frames so doors close quietly and latch first try.
For interior painting, I focus on prep. I patch nail holes, sand glossy trim, tape crisp edges, and use drop cloths and plastic to protect your space. Most of my painting is in lived-in condos and rentals, so I work clean and fast with two-coat coverage.
For locks, I install standard deadbolts, keypad and smart locks, and repair misaligned latches and loose handles. I reinforce strike plates and set doors so they lock secure without slamming.
For window treatments, I measure once and drill once. I mount curtain rods, blinds, cellular shades, and plantation shutters on drywall, plaster, and brick using the right anchors. I also repair broken tilt wands, restring cords, and replace brackets.
Across all four, I bring the same approach: precision, integrity, and care. I am fully insured, I communicate clearly, and I stand behind my work.

The actual price was cheaper than quoted since he was able to complete the work so quickly, and he had 20 minutes left of the first hour so he fixed a second item for me that I wasn't planning on. I was pleasantly surprised!
